Instructions

  1. Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
  2. Fry the cabbage in half of the butter in a large frying or wok pan on medium-high heat. It takes a while for the cabbage to soften, but don't let it turn brown.
  3. Add spices and vinegar. Stir and fry for a couple of minutes more. Put the cabbage in a bowl.
  4. Melt the rest of the butter in the same frying pan. Add garlic, chili flakes and ginger. Sauté for a few minutes.
  5. Add ground meat and brown until the meat is thoroughly cooked and most of the juices have evaporated. Lower the heat a little.
  6. Add scallions and cabbage to the meat. Stir until everything is hot. Salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
  7. Mix together the wasabi mayonnaise by starting with a small amount of wasabi and adding more until the flavor is just right. Serve the stir-fry warm with a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise on top.

Substituting ingredients

Want variety? You can replace the beef with other kinds of protein like ground chicken, pork or lamb.

If you have other sorts of cabbage like red cabbage or savoy cabbage, they will work just as fine.

If you don't like mayonnaise you can substitute that for crème fraîche, sour cream or even cream cheese.

Storing and reheating

This dish keeps in the fridge for at least 3-4 days. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Thawing and reheating can make the cabbage release its liquids so the dish may be a bit more watery compared to freshly cooked. This does not affect the flavor of the dish.

Keto: Enjoy losing weight (16:8) #1

If you want to lose weight while still enjoying amazing food, we’ve got the perfect meal plan for you.

To help turn you into a fat-burning machine, we’ve decided to employ intermittent fasting (16:8) in this week’s meal plan. This means your first meal will be at lunch — but feel free to drink coffee, tea, and of course, water throughout the day.

This mouth-watering ketogenic menu will keep you way below 20 grams of carbs per day. It includes some popular budget-friendly meals, such as our No-bean keto chili and Crispy tuna burgers, plus a few more elevated meals like our
Ribeye steak with loaded cauliflower mash.

Remember, you can always swap pricey ingredients such as ribeye with cheaper protein options such as chicken thighs or pork chops. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time as needed.

By skipping breakfast, you’ll automatically save money that you could potentially spend on higher-quality ingredients such as grass-fed beef and organic eggs — a good investment for your body, the animals, and the environment.

    I've been making this recipe for decades. For those that find this too oily, (I can't eat too much fat, no gallbladder) I saute my cabbage in bacon grease, then add water or chicken broth if more moisture is needed. Works fine with ground beef, pork, chicken, or any kind of rope sausage. I serve with horseradish, but anything spicy would work.

    The weight of the finished dish will vary. It is best to portion or weigh out your finished dish to the number of servings you have the recipe set.

    Very good! I used a ground beef/ground pork mixture. I did not make the Wasabi mayonnaise, but the dish was fine. It was very filling! To make again.

    We do not have the break down for the individual components of the dish, but you can calculate the carbs using an app like Carb Manager or Cronometer. We use the USDA database for our nutrition information.

    I make this recipe regularly, it is a really nice comfort food on a cold day. I was worried about the wasabi mayo but in the quantities it's in, it's more of a flavour than heat. It all mixes together really nicely and it's very yummy :) I make it with turkey thigh mince as I don't like beef.

    I make this regularly. To my taste the wasabi doesn't add heat — for that, I add sriracha. I also find the listed amount of fat quite extreme, literally a fat soup. I find halving the amount of fat, using a lean mince, and then adjusting manually with the mayo to be a better method.

    Super delicious! I don't do chilli so used ceyene pepper and paprika.... Bit of a bite but not chilli burn. Again, could only eat half the portion!

    This is one of my favourites! I use pork for the asian cabbage stir fry, beef for the Italian and ground lamb for the Indian. I am also not a fan of the wasabi mayo so I top with sour cream with wasabi on the side. On all of the stir fries I cut back on the protein.

    9 net carbs? This doesn’t seem right! What ingredients in here have that many carbs? A whole cup of cabbage is only 5!
